- Mā te kahukura
Mā te kahukura ka rere te manu
Ka rere koe (rere runga rawa e)
Kia tae atu koe ki te taumata
Whakatau mai rā e
Māu ana taku aroha
Kai ake I ngā whetū
Rere totika, rere pai
Rere runga rawa rā e
Rere totika, rere pai
Rere runga rawa rā e
Mā te kahukura was written by Hōhepa Tamehana for a play performed at Takirua Māori Theatre in Wellington based on a book written by his sister Esther Tamehana called He Kahurere.
He had been asked to put music to a portion of the play .Having not done this he received a call from the director while he was at work who asked for the music and waiata to be sent through by the end of that day. Setting his kids to task in the classroom he went outside wrote and recorded the waiata on a four stringed guitar and sent it to Wellington on a courier, all in 20 minutes. Hōhepa, Kepa and Sophronia Smith performed live backing vocals for the play. Hōhepa says “they made the waiata famous, they were better singers than me”.
Hōhepa taught Mā te kahukura to Whānau Whānui and they performed it as their choral in their bracket for the Ngāti Kahungunu Regionals in 1999.
The waiata is now famous throughout the motu. Mā te Kahukura was written for the part of the play where Roimata a young girl, takes the feathers from her cloak and bonds them to the manu (bird).

Kahukura est un nom d'un homme ou d'une femme? C'est un nom chinois ou japonais et merci.
In Māori, Kahukura has a couple of meanings.
But this waiata/song is referencing Kahukura … the Rainbow 🌈 😊
